Judge: KindHearts’ rights were violated, can’t be termed a terror group.
A local Muslim charity [Toledo, Ohio], whose constitutional rights were found to have been violated when the U.S. government froze its financial assets in 2006, cannot be labeled as a terrorist organization pending the outcome of the civil case, a federal judge in Toledo ruled Monday.
Judge James Carr released an order late Monday temporarily prohibiting the government from labeling KindHearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development Inc., as a “specially designated global terrorist.”
The 13-page order states the government is prohibited from designating the organization pending the judge’s “determination of what remedy shall issue because of the constitutional and statutory violations” already found.

This is what I love in American democratic justice system. It may not be perfect but Muslims could find their voices being heard despite the clamor of hate and discrimination by a vocal group of bigots who are trying to manipulate the government.
If we only become visible, assertive and conscious of all our rights in this country; no one can ever oppress us, torture us, discriminate us and shut us up of the public scenes…
